1 Interest rates are subject to change at the Bank's discretion as often as daily without notice. Fees may reduce earnings.

2 If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.

3 A proprietary bank fee may apply unless you use a SUM ATM

4 Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of noncash items (i.e. checks)

5 We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
